Nice and thank you. I will probably get 1x for both an Rpi 0 an Rpi 0 W.

Hope you can pick it up again soon. With so many Steam Link lying around, it would be a shame not to put Debian on them :)

Any chance you will ever take a look inside the steam link anytime soon? If you don't plan to, I might as well get rid of the 5 steam links I stocked up.

It certainly will be nice if we can replace the stock uboot to run other OSes, i.e. ARMbian, Kali Linux, OpenWRT/LEDE, etc.

Thanks, at least for the fast and honnest answer :). I will wait a bit longer then. Didn't cost too much anyway.

Yes, now the hard part is that I've never learned to solder properly :)) so I need to buy some parts to connect serial console. This serial port does not have solder buttons to jiggy up temporary connections.

davidyer mentioned that he cannot interrupt serial console while the box is starting. Is that true for you too? or anybody has tried and saw the same behavior?

Bodhi,

Would it be possible for you to take the snapshot of the serial port you want to solder and post it here?
